Amid all the seemed dislike about this game and it's many technical flaws, I will be listing 10 of the things i liked most about this game which should shine some light on what this game could be: 1. Cool story revealing cutscene 2. You can strangle a Willie (to death!) 3. New weapons (flail, my goat) 4. Armor customizability 5. Weapon forging 6. ball kicking 7. Zombies???? 8. Mercenaries 9. stupid overpowered stick of wrath (quarterstaff I think) 10. hair This game is a good game, it's just going though some early game issues.
